Hey all just found out the hard way that you cannot really install a dim gauge panel inside the 300zx center console.

 

I seen a while back that someone modified their center panel to fit 3 52" gauges inside it. Does anyone still make these?? Or is there a guide on how to do it? Thanks :cool: Murty Murt Murt

dim gauge panel? Or do you mean din gauge panel?

You know were your radio goes there is 2 slots, they are called dim slots

They are called 'din' slots actually. I thought you were on about poor lighting at first! LOL

think mario is selling a full console wi a 3 gauge holder modded in, i also made my own, just bought a stepped singe din gauge holder off ebay the siliconed it in, had to do a bit of filing down of the console to get it to fit but it defo is possible cos ive done it, and it looks the dogs, but i aint got no photos to show you

Gah well i just wasted money then.......

Hey bud is there any chance of you linking me the buyer you brought it from?

Murt, I fitted a 3 DIN panel in mine a few years back, it was just a universal one.

 

that the holder i used, just a little gentle pursuasion and it will fit

Thanks for the pics dave, im just thinking of how i would be able to fit the din holder which i have brought. Dont think it is really possible without it looking bad

you need to file the din slot back a few mm in width, and have it at the top slot so the clip in cover fills the small gaps at the top, and you can bend the holders back to make it a solid fit.

Ok :) thanks, but i think i will need a new din gauge holder as that one will not really work that i brought it will leave gaps above :(

why not buy one thats made for a 300zx centre console... i had one fitted to my old zed... quality bit of kit and looked v tidy...

 

z centre

 

it has studs from the rear to mount the gauge so no modifcations are required to fit other than bonding the nicely machined metal in position.

 

JOB DONE!

I think Luke at the Z centre sells them and so do Z1
